What could
animation feature do after 1938?

story, but rather to tempted to create an emotional response in the audience by
combining form, colour and motion to interpret fine music

combine together form, colour and motion to interpret fine music and to create
an emotional response towards the audience.
Explain how they made the film images using paint brushes,
what effects were created?
- Every effort was made to retain the fragile character in
the inspirational sketches. Most of which were rendered in pastels and chalks.
In adapting the production it became apparent that the usual hard ink lines and
flat opaque areas of colour could not do them justice. To retain the authorial
quality transparent paint were developed. The reproduce the pastel affect a dry
brush technique was used. In this technique the brushes wiped almost dry of
paint before application, leaving a grainy, chalk like texture on the cellulites.
He later says that
the drawings and art are only half of a successful animation, what does he say
on the other half?
-The equally important
other half is the music.
